The Genome Database for Rosaceae (GDR, https://www.rosaceae.org) is an integrated web-based community database resource providing access to publicly available genomics, genetics and breeding data data-mining tools facilitate basic, translational applied research in Rosaceae. volume of GDR has increased greatly over the last 5 years. now houses multiple versions whole genome assembly annotation from 14 species, made by recent advances sequencing technology. Annotated searchable reference...

Although a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers covering the entire genome are needed to enable molecular breeding efforts such as wide association studies, fine mapping, genomic selection and marker-assisted in peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] related Prunus species, only limited genetic markers, including simple sequence repeats (SSRs), have been available date. To address this need, an international consortium (The International Peach SNP Consortium; IPSC) has...

Low-cost, high throughput genotyping methods are crucial to marker discovery and marker-assisted breeding efforts, but have not been available for many 'specialty crops' such as fruit nut trees. Here we apply the Genotyping-By-Sequencing (GBS) method developed cereals of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a peach F2 mapping population. Peach is genetic genomic model within Rosaceae will provide template use this with other members family. Our population 57 genotypes segregates bloom...

High-quality genotypic data is a requirement for many genetic analyses. For any crop, errors in genotype calls, phasing of markers, linkage maps, pedigree records, and unnoticed variation ploidy levels can lead to spurious marker-locus-trait associations incorrect origin assignment alleles individuals. High-throughput genotyping requires automated scoring, as manual inspection thousands scored loci too time-consuming. However, SNP scoring result that should be corrected ensure recorded are...

Linkage maps are valuable tools in genetic and genomic studies. For sweet cherry, linkage have been constructed using mainly microsatellite markers (SSRs) and, recently, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) from a cherry 6K SNP array. Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), new methodology based on high-throughput sequencing, holds great promise for identification of high number SNPs construction density maps. In this study, GBS was used to identify an intra-specific cross. A total 8,476 quality...

Leaf, bark, xylem and root tissues were used to make nine cDNA libraries from non‐stressed (control) ‘Royal Gala’ apple trees, trees exposed either low temperature (5°C for 24 h) or water deficit (45% of saturated pot mass 2 weeks). Over 22 600 clones the subjected 5′ single‐pass sequencing, clustered annotated using blastx . The number clusters in ranged 170 1430. Regarding annotation sequences, analysis indicated that within 65–72% had a high similarity known function genes, 6–15% no...

Fruit quality traits have a significant effect on consumer acceptance and subsequently peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) consumption. Determining the genetic bases of key fruit is essential for industry to improve increase Pedigree-based analysis across multiple pedigrees can identify genomic basis complex direct implementation in marker-assisted selection. This strategy provides breeders with better-informed decisions improves selection efficiency and, subsequently, saves resources time.

Abstract Several studies in recent decades have warned that plant breeding capacity U.S. institutions may be declining, placing our food system at risk. To further understand the status, trajectory, and needs of these programs, a national survey was conducted 2018. Public‐sector programs ( n = 278) 44 states responded to questions about staffing levels, budgets, access needed personnel, technology for selective breeding. Almost half program leaders were nearing retirement age. Programs...

Peach is one of the most important fruit crops in world, with global annual production about 24.6 million tons. The United States fourth-largest producer after China, Spain, and Italy. consumption has decreased over last decade, likely due to inconsistent quality on market. Thus, marker-assisted selection for traits highly desired fresh market peach breeding programs major goals RosBREED project. ability use DNA information select desirable would enable breeders efficiently plan crosses...

Brown rot, caused by Monilinia spp., is one of the most important diseases on stone fruit worldwide. Severe yield loss can be pre- and post-harvest decay. Although some degree tolerance has been reported in peach almond, genetic resistance cultivars still lacking. To date, only few genomic regions associated with brown rot response skin flesh have detected peach. Previous studies suggested being a polygenic quantitative trait. More information needed to uncover genetics behind identify this...
